2018 Okaloosa-Walton Primary E-Voter

Welcome

Okaloosa and Walton County residents: are you ready to vote? The 2018 Primary Election E-Voter is your one-stop-shopping place to learn about the candidates and referendums so you can cast an informed ballot. League urges all registered voters in Okaloosa and Walton Counties to take some time to invest in the future of your communities and your nation by making smart decisions when you vote. And if you are not registered to vote, you have until 30 July to do so if you want to participate in the Primary.

Candidate qualification for federal and judicial offices ended on 4 May. Candidate qualification for all other state and local offices ended 22 June. League sent a brief questionnaire to all the qualified candidates for contested local races, asking them to outline their priorities and goals if elected or re-elected. This E-Voter contains all the responses received, so the electorate can compare the candidates’ views and opinions. Candidates who did not respond to our request for information are so indicated. Get more information on the races that affect you by using the links at the top of this page to be directed to races in Okaloosa or Walton County.

In case you were wondering, there are a number of things you won’t see on your Primary ballot. These include the 13 proposed Constitutional Amendments, any local sales tax initiatives, Fire Control District races, any NPA candidates in partisan contests and write-in candidates. The E-Voter does not cover write-ins unless they actually raise money and campaign, but you will find all the other items on the General Election ballot and in the General Election E-Voter.
